In our study, two popular fragrant rice cultivars (Meixiangzhan 2 and Xiangyaxiangzhan) were conducted by three treatments (CK: conventional tillage; T1: minimum tillage; T2: no-tillage) to assess the effects of conservation tillage on the aroma, yield and quality of mechanical-transplanting fragrant rice. Results depicted that the 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) content in mature grains of mechanical-transplanting fragrant rice remained high level under T1 and T2 treatments. 2-AP accumulation in mature grains was significant associated with the 2-AP, proline and pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid content, proline dehydrogenase and ornithine aminotransferase activity in grains and leaves during the grain-filling period. T1 and T2 treatments improved yield components, increased the photosynthetic matter accumulation, and increased yields. T1 and T2 treatments also resulted in a higher head milled rice rate and significant changes in protein content of mechanical-transplanting fragrant rice. Overall, conservation tillage practices were beneficial to increase the 2-AP content, quality and yield of mechanical-transplanting fragrant rice.
